4 NICE HORSE STORY.
Il Carries its Own Moral, which is a
Most Excellent One.

On Madison street one day I paused
to pat the nose Of O beautiful horse
which stood by the curb and to com.
mensurate his misfortune. For this
beautiful animal, though sleek Of coat
and shapely in body and limb, was ap,
parentiy suffering most excruciating
torture. His head had been checked
inhumanly high, and the cruel bit,
drawing tightly into his mouth, disng-
ured an animal face @? unusual charm

that the horse had begun to understand
and appreciate my words Of sympathy,
when the lady who sat in the carriage
holding the reins fumhied in her peck
CT, produced lump Of white sugar,
and asked me TO give it to the horse.
Gle is very fond OF sugar." she ex-
planned, ''and I have quite won his
heart by feeding it to him. I always
carry sugar in my pocket while out
driving, and give him lump at every
opportunity. l never knew horse to
be so fond of sugar. viii you please
give him another lump"

you are quite as fond OF the horse as he
is of sweets. "
eyes, I think everything of him"
''Then why do you torture him."
Torture my Prince I"
90 Yes, that is just what you are do
ing. Do you not know that the poor
animal suffers agony because his head
is checked so unnntUraily high! His
neck is drawn out straight, producing n
most ungraceful angle, he holds his
head ewkwardly, the bit is hurting his
mouth, and that graceful curvature of
neck aud carriage of head which are his
nature are now entirely lost. Why do
you check him SO highi"
She didn't know. She was not aware
that high checking was source of pain
to horses, nor that it destroyed their
natural beauty. She was amazed at the
discovery.

that he had actually been released from

such a grateful, delighted expression in
his intelligent eyes that his mistress
declared no more checking straps

A yOODOO'S THREAT FULFILLED.
Wholesale Poisoning in the Family
of a Geogira Negro.

John Harris, colored, the sixth victim
of the Voodoo poisoning, died in the
lunatic asylum In Milledgeville, Ga. The
story of the case illustrates phrase in
negro character. Harris and his broth
ea,-in-law, Bonner, lived near each other
in a colored settlement in the northern
part of Baldwin county. For years,
! Bonner had made living as Voodoo
| doctor, and so great was the terror in
spired by him that the negros did his
bidding with implicit obedience. John
Harris alone declined to believe in Bon
ner, saying that he could do no more
than other men. This enraged Bonner
greatly, and he declared that that which
the Harris family ate. would henceforth
act as poison, and that before new
moon should come not one of the fam
lily would be alive. Two days later the
Harris family, which consisted Of eleven
personalities, mother and nine child
ren-grew violently i'll after breakfast.
By 9 o'clock one of the children was
dead. At noon second victim was
laid by the side of the first, and by dark
a third was dead Instead OF taking
action against the Voodoo, the Harris
family now looked upon him as having
u divine agency to visit wrath upon
them who offended him, and they hud-
died together and endeavored to keep
the whole matter secret.
Before the funeral of the three dead
children could take place fourth was
added to the list, while the seven other
members of the family were dangerous
" i'll. That evening the mother died,
and day later still another child was
added to the list. The father alone, who
had not eaten much at the fatal meal,
recovered sufficiently to move, but
when he recovered he was a raving man
lac and had to be confined in the luna
tic asylum. He had fearful visions and
would not eat for fear of being poisoned,
and soon died in terrible contortions.
News from the settlement is that the
survivors cannot live much longer, SO
that it is likely the Voodoo's prophecy
will be fulfilled and that not one of the
family will see the new moon come i'll.
As soon as the white people learned
of the facts Bonner was hidden by the
colored people and has not yet been
found

A lady who resides in Nyack has a

Thinking to give the girl grand treat,
and knowing that she had never seen a
theatre the lady purchased a ticket for a
play at the opera house. The girl went
but returned before 9 o'clock. "What

asked the mistress. "Oh, I liked it

Planting Fodder Corn.

1t is coming to be the practice of
many of the dairymen to provide a
crop OF fodder corn Or other green crop
that will supplement pastures during a
drouth. A crop of corn in drills is en-
tirely practicable and profitable. If no
drought comes the corn can be allowed
TO nearly mature, then cut and shocked
as ordinary corn fodder, or if a silo is
already built, the crop will make good
silage. The amount to sow depends
very much on circumstances. The
number OF COWS, the length of time
drought is liable to affect the pastures
the desirability of the corn fodder, and
many other things must be consid-
cred. Feeding should begin before
drought has materially lessened tho
flow OF milk. Not only is There a loss
OF milk for the time being, but liberal
Ieeding afterwards does not furnish the
same amount OF milk that would have
